In December, the Arizona Diamondbacks unveiled their third generation of new uniforms.
Due to the bold changes that challenge traditional baseball fashion, the initial reaction was not kind.
Four months later, the D-backs played their first regular season game in the new uniforms — and let’s just say folks aren’t really warming up to the look.
Here’s a sampling from Twitter:
Gotta admit, I’m not a fan of the new @Dbacks uniforms. I thought maybe they’d look better in a real game, but nope.

The Rockies uniforms remain bland and badly in need of a redesign, but they look pretty damn good next to the DBacks — Cameron Goeldner (@Goeldfinger) April 5, 2016

I’m still in literal disbelief that those hideous Dbacks uniforms are real.

D’Backs could go 0-162 and that still wouldn’t be as bad as their uniforms! — Joshua Neditch (@ChesterCheevo) April 5, 2016
The D Backs uniforms are worse in game action. Hideous.

And you fans of “The Cosby Show” will get this reference.
D-Backs uniforms look like Denise tried to make Theo another knockoff Gordon Gartrell shirt

OK, it wasn’t unanimous. There are some people that do like Arizona’s game day look.
Repping the new D-Backs hat today. New uniforms look great! #CapsOn — Cameron Johnson (@camjohnson5) April 4, 2016

In all honesty, I like the D’Backs new uniforms. Minus the crap going on, on the shoulder area.

The D-backs will wear four different uniforms during their season-opening seven-game homestand.
